merIden,s Horse Car Lines.

As the Meriden horse car lines will prob- ably be extended to South Meriden in the near future, the plan is proposed of running them down Cook avenue and down New Hanover avenue. This route is rather steep, but is shorter than around Hemlock Grove and would run by Walnut Grove cemetery on the west side. A good deal of trade would be received from the residents of Cook avenue, and running by the cemetery would be great convenience.

The bill is very liberal in it's terms, it requiring three separate convictions of crime in which the minimum punis hment is two years in State prison before convict is classed as ineorrigible. The bill is in the interests of law and order and will prove, when enacted into law, of the greatest benefit to all law abiding citizens of the State. After further eXnlanatIon the bill WAS rassed

HARTFORD COUNTY BRIDGES.

A long and exciting debate took place in the House this afternoon over the Hartford county bridge matter. The other day the bill was defeated and motion to reconsider entered. It was taken from the table. The object of reconsideration was to have amend ments submitted which should confne the bill to the Hartford county bridges, and pro- viding for the appointment of commissioners by the Superior court to ascertain the dam ages to the bridge company and find the mea- sure of benefits to such towns as may be ben e6tted, the whole matter to be finally deter mined by the court. It was nearly 5 o'clock when the matter was finally settled. It was voted to strike out the clause providing the State must pay 20 per cent. and that the towns deriving the most immediate benefit should pay the entire expense of removal.

NEW YORK, Aug. 12.-R. G.. Dun g.
Co.'S trade review has the following:
Short crops in'1SS1 proved the turning
point of business for seven years. and
the drouth this year, though resulting
in less injury to crops, comes at time
when real estate values at the West
have been unusually inflated. Heavy
rains have broken the long drouth dur
ing the past week, but only after the
official bureau report had shown how
serious was the injury sustained,
and the relief came too late to do
good in extensive districts of the
Northwest. The bureau reports losses
which cannot be repaired to consider
able part of the hay crop, and to oats,
tobacco, potatoes and fruit, a little in
jury to cotton and wheat, and a de-
cline of IL per cent. in the condition of
corn. The work of destruction con-
tinued ten days after bureau reports
were made before rain came, and the
aggregate loss of farmers must exceed
$500 600, 900. A difference is inevitable
in the purchases of manufactured and
imported goods by the Northwest. If
prices had not been inflated by real
estate boom, and if business so enor-
nous had not been created a loss of
even a tenth of the entire value of
farm products would make little differ
ence, but the wild speculation in land
and town lots, the expenditure of many
hundred millions in new buildings, and
the permanent investment of large sums
in new railroads and manufacturing
works render partial loss of crops
more important Interior reports are
uniformally good as to the volume of
business, though at Galveston good
many orders have been countermanded.

The premium list recently issued by
the Western National Fair Association,
for their coming exposition at Bismarck
Grove, September to IL, and copy Of
whice has been sent US, makes re-
makably fine showing. The premiums
in all the departments are unusually
liberal and offer great inducements to
exhibitors. Especially is this true in
the live stock department, where the
most generous premiums are offered.
The stock exhibit at Bismarck each
year has been one of the great
features Of the exposition. The dis
play of fine stock made last year was
the largest and grandest ever seen in
the West 1t was remarkable show
ing for the stock interests Of our
state, and was big advertisement for
Kansas.
The stock display this year we I'M
derstand will even exceed the unparal-
leled exhibit of last year. The same
liberal premiums are offered besides
special premiums in excess of
all previous years. Already large
numbers of entries have been
made for the coming exposition, and

their intention of entering large mum
bers of fine stock. So the indications
all point to even larger and finer dis
play of stock at Bismarck this year
than has ever been made in the West.
Inthe speed ring the same liberal
spirit has been shown, and a magnifi-
cent exhibition of speed will be the re-
suit. The management of the fair are
making every possible endeavor to Sc
cure as fine horses as will be- speeded
in the West this season, and from the
present outlook there is no doubt of
their success. The lover of the sport
of the speed ring will have no better
opportunity of gratifying his taste
than at the Bismarck Fair.
Reports from all over the state show
that an active interest is being taken
by the people Of Kansas in this great
State Fair, and that it will be an expo
sitiOn of incalculable value to our state.
1t will be fair of which We will all be
proud, and one that deserves the
hearty encouragement of every loyal
citizen of Kansas

THE Garden City Sentinel says there
is general complaint among the old set
tiers there. The irrigation bitches are
not kept in condition for use. They
are half filed up with mud, the sedi-
ment that has accumulated in them in
years past and has not been removed
so that it is impossible to run water
enough in them to supply the demand
They need thorough repairs, but the
nonresident stockholders are indiffer-
ent or hostile, and the needed work is
not done. The Sentinel adds that il
these bitches were properly put in or
der in the first place, and then properly
and energetically managed afterwards
they would be very valuable property
and pay handsome dividends, besides
being most valuable aid to all farmers
owning lands.

THERE is little doubt now that the
Kansas delegation to the national en-
campment at st. Louis will be small,
compared with what had been antici-
pated. If more than fifty persons go
from this vicinity it will be surprise
to those best posted. And it at one
time looked as if the delegation from
this neighborhood would reach into the
hundreds. Various causes have COM
bined to bring about this result, the
principal one, of course, being the
trouble caused by the Cleveland invita-
tion episode and the remarks INDUCED
in and insinuations thrown out by st.
Louis and other papers since then, that
at best but alukewarm reception would
be rendered the veterans by that city,
as retaliation for the alleged dis
courtesy shown the president. Besides
this, it had been anticipated that rate
of about one cent mile would have
been given excursionists by the rail-
roads. But up to date this has, as
usual, been done only by roads east of
the Mississippi, and should it now be
allowed by those west of the Missis-
sippi it is doubtful if such a crowd
could be gathered at this late date as
could have been gathered by an earlier
announcement. For these, and other
reasons, the Kansas delegation, COM
paratively speaking, will be small.

SPEAKING of colds, / have theory
that no one need ever have one unless
he chooses: in other words, that it is
quite possible so to train the skin, that
wonderful organ which is generally
looked upon as the paper wrapper to
our human bundle, as to render it nom
susceptible to sudden changes of tenn
perature or atmospheric moisture,
whence colds come. And as this is ex-
actly the season to commence such a
system of pellar education, as it has
proved effective in many instances
within my own knowledge, and as it is
within easy reach of everyone to try, /
write it here. The theory is that no
skin that has been exposed freely for
half an hour at the beginning of day
to temperature lower than it will en-
counter through the day, will note
small changes or be affected thereby.
A cold is simply a nervous shock, re-
ceived by the myriads of minute nerve
terminals that bristle over the surface
of the human body, transmitted to the
centers and so back again to the mu-
cous membrane, the peculiar seat of
this special irritation. Let us then 80
train these sensitive fibres that they
will pass by, unnoticed, changes of at
mospheric condition, and the matter is
complished.-From the American
Magazine for September.

THE following peroration, as beauti-
f3l as it is eloquent and truthful, was
pronounced by the late John B, Cough,
while holding glass of water in one
of his lectures:
There is no poison in that cup; no
fiendish spirit dwells beneath those
crystal drops to lure you andme and all
of us to ruin; no spectral shadows are
upon its wayeless surface; no widow
groans nor orphan 81 tears arise to God
from those placid fountains; misery,
crime, wretchedness, woe, want and
rags come not in the followed precincts
where cold water reigns supreme. Pure
now as when it left its native heaven,
giving vigor to our youth, strength to
our manhood, sending solace to our old
age. Cold water is beautiful and
bright and pure everywhere. In the
moonlight fountains and rills; in the
warbling brook and giant river; in the
deep, tangled wildwood and the cata-
ract's spray. In the hands of beauty
or in the lips of manhood-cold water
is beautiful everywhere.

THE following from st. Louis ex-
change, while it may seem somewhat
facetious, undoubtedly contains more
truth than poetry. 1t is no secret that
many who are now numbered among
our strongest temperance advocates
were once among those who sneered at
and denounced the prohibition law.
Possibly the secret of some conversions
is contained in this explanation:

man, to crowd OF admiring friends at

A SCIENTIFIC writer says: "Sleep, if
taken at the right moment, will prevent
an attack of nervous headache. If the
subjects of such headaches will watch
the symptoms of its coming, they can
notice that it begins with a feeling of
WEAKNESS and heaviness. This is the
time that sleep of an hour or even two,
as nature guides, will effectuaIly pre-
vent the headache. If not taken just
then it will be too late, for after the at
tack is fairly under way, it is impossi-
bic to get sleep until far into the night,
perhaps. 1t is SO common in these
days for doctors to forbid having their
patients walked to take medicine if they
are asleep when the hour comes round,
and the people have learned the lesson
pretty well, and they generally know
that sleep is better for the sick than
medicine. But it is not well known that
sleep is a wonderful preventative of dis
ease-better than tonic regulators and
StimulantS."

full individual who is called "Greasy

from the common herd by an uncon-

which he drinks as other men do whis-

strong hold on some people as whisky
drinking does in other places. The
drinkers claim that the oil is a panacea

many cases of consumption, it is
averred, have been permanently cured
by its use. One of the drinkers, on
